I use a mac mini running headlessly and wired straight to the
squeezebox. Have about 350 albums ripped at 320 mp3 (80%) and flac
(20%). Takes about 45gb of the 80gb disc iirc, so depending on what
format you use, it should be enough space, but you can always expand if
you need to. I didn't rip on
FWIW, I work on 3CDs per GB for FLAC (Apple lossless should be about the
same), so 80GB should hold about 240 CDs.

Basically I have about a hundred or so
